The UTEP women’s basketball team held off a strong second half push by the Charlotte 49ers to earn an 82 – 76 overtime victory. It was big night for two of the Miners senior leaders as Ariona Gill put up a career high 23 points and was one rebound shy of a career high with 13 boards and Katarina Zec is now the 14th Miner to join the 1,000 point club finishing with 13 points against the 49ers.
“It’s just a great honor and of course I wouldn’t get there without my commitment to this program and my teammates as well,” Zec said.
